You have landed in a Macintosh group. You mentioned Excel 2007, which is
Windows, but I think the problem and solution are the same. Is she really
clicking a cell, or actually double clicking expecting to edit the cell. If
the later, make sure the Excel preferences for 'allow double click to edit
directly in cell." If this preference is turned off, double clicking a cell
will automatically select the cell's precedents. This is probably what is
happening.
